Why Choose a Safari in Tanzania

Tanzania sets aside around a third of its land for national parks, game reserves and conservation areas. It is home to the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater and the Great Migration, as well as quieter wilderness in the south where you may drive for hours without seeing another vehicle. Combine Mount Kilimanjaro and the beaches of Zanzibar on top. Very few countries can offer so much variety in just a single trip.

The Northern Circuit: Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire

Most first safaris start in the north, a short drive from Arusha. The Serengeti is famous for big cats and the Great Migration, the Ngorongoro Crater holds one of the highest concentrations of wildlife in Africa, and Tarangire is known for its huge elephant herds and ancient baobab trees. A Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater safari is the classic introduction to Tanzania.

The Wild South: Nyerere, Ruaha and Mikumi

Southern Tanzania is wilder and far less visited. Nyerere National Park, formerly the Selous, offers boat safaris on the Rufiji River and walking safaris. Ruaha National Park is known for large lion prides and rugged landscapes, and Mikumi is an easy option close to Dar es Salaam. The south suits returning travelers and anyone who wants the bush to themselves.

Safaris Planned by Tanzanians

Fahamu Safaris is a local company based in Arusha, and our name comes from the Swahili word for "understanding".

Frequently Asked Questions

The dry season from June to October is the most popular time, because animals gather around rivers and waterholes and are easier to spot. January and February are excellent for the calving season of the Great Migration in the southern Serengeti. Safaris run all year, and the green season often brings lower prices. See our guide to the best time to visit Tanzania.

Three days is enough for a short safari to Tarangire and the Ngorongoro Crater. To include the Serengeti, plan at least five days, and seven days lets you enjoy the northern parks at a relaxed pace, as on our 7-day best of Tanzania safari. Ten days or more allows you to add the south or a beach stay.

The Serengeti is the most famous, with the Great Migration and excellent big cat sightings. The Ngorongoro Crater offers dense wildlife in a spectacular setting, and Tarangire is known for elephants.
